What we are doing
What is going to happen?
As you’re aware, we’re legally required to raise the height of four pylons and a short section of existing overhead line that the new HS2 railway will pass under. This includes two pylons between Handsacre and Hanch, two between Bromley Hayes and Kings Bromley and replacing overhead lines along the route.
What will I notice?
We’ve assessed the most efficient and safe way to carry out protective netting works on scaffolding across the road, and their removal. We aim to reduce the impact on road users and the local community. The arrangements to manage these works are as follows:
• We’ll be managing traffic with ‘Stop/Go’ traffic management boards on Shaw Lane on Wednesday 15 September between 8am and 6pm. They’ll be used where the overhead power line crosses the road so our contractor, Balfour Beatty, can pull a protective net over the scaffold across the road.
• The same signals will be in place between 8am and 6pm on Thursday 28 October while the net is removed.
• Finally, if we need to use it, this section of road has local authority permission for a closure between Monday 11 October and Thursday 14 October, between 8am and 6pm, for some reinstatement work.
This work, in consultation with landowners, is to return land or access points back to how we found them.
**Construction dates are subject to change, but the above is programmed to happen. Should there be a shift in dates, we’ll advise accordingly.**
